Hi. In the tab "404 Pages", i have some strange url like favicon.ico or browserconfig-xml

Do you know from where are coming these url's?
Thanks for your help

Hi

No, I don't know. If you enable the new Data recording features in version 4.7.0, you might gather more information about who did those requests.

Just remember that this is a record of requests to your site that failed. So if I go to your site and I type in my browser: yoursite.com/hello-zakavier-how-are-you, you will see that in your 404 list. It doesn't mean much, just that someone tried, by mistake or otherwise, to get this page.

What you want to pay attention to really is 404 that originate from your own site, it means you have broken links somewhere.

Thanks for your quick answer.
I know it will record all addresses typed like in your exemple and generate 404 but i asked this because it was favicon.ico and browserconfig.xml

It's not important. It was just to know if it's a big standard...
Thanks.

Hi

Favico.ico is a standard. Most search engines will try to load it from the root of your site, so often it's best to have it there.

Again, if you enable Data recording for 404s, you will get details about which user agent requested taht page, and you can decide if you want to do something about it.

I enabled data recording and i have this:

1 2015-10-29 11:19:26 xxxx
User agent : Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:41.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/41.0

And other recordings coming from my ip address...

So i don't know... I will leave it like this...

Hi

So your favicon is actually provided by your template:

<link href="/templates/odinelixir/favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon" />

If these requests are coming from your own address, then most likely it's your browser trying to fetch the favicon, for instance if you've bookmarked your web site address.
